When I see rough tools like that, I wonder if it was WWII production where it had to be rushed. When I was a Tenderfoot my old man gave me a WWII hand axe. It was very rough and painted OD. It was ugly compared to the Plumbs. Somebody stole it and I wasn't even upset. I still have the entrenching tool that Dad gave me 58 years ago. The "Dake", the difference between men and boys is the size and cost of our toys. Good Luck, Rick

It is fun to remember how you find youtube channels. I started at Engel's coach shop. In one of his thank you videos, he showed a beautiful polished auto wrench with red accents sent to him by Scoutcrafter. Dave Engels recommended Scoutcrafter's channel so I checked it out. Then in one of Scoutcrafter's videos he recommended Mr. Pete, 357Magdad, and Tool Addict. I do watch youtube recommended stuff sometimes, but most of my subs are from recommendation of the people i am already watching. Its a community thing.

I found Engel's Coach Shop when I clicked on a video about making wooden buckets but the man kept rattling on about pretty much nothing. I noticed a recommendation to the side for a video about making a 1,000 pound wagon wheel. Clicked on that and was hooked and drawn into watching the Borax wagon project. Like you I have found several channels from Dave's recommendations which have branched out to several others such as This Old Tony, Abom79 etc. Always like to learn something new, or ways to improve on methods I thought I had perfected. There's always room for improvement.

John, what do you do with all of these restorations? I find that as I progress, friends and family ask for the tools I’ve restored. I gladly share them with them.

I will tell ya what i have saved more of us the wire from the Jiffy pop that you use on the stove. My kids love the Jiffy pop popcorn. Its fun to make, and when they are done, i just unbend the lip of the aluminum pan and the wire handle comes right off with a big loop on it.

Hammer handle length reminds me of a story from a railway workshop. Apprentices being trained in hammer/ cold chisel work, flattening material, cutting sheet etc. The Gaffer comes round and catches someone using their hammer by holding it up near the head. He takes the hammer, puts it in a vice, and saws the back end of the handle off where the apprentice SHOULD have been holding the hammer Harsh lesson. But I’m sure he did it right after.

Hammer handles are set according to job task and head weight... Framers like long handles to increase reach and swing.
